- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 10 hours ago:
that’s exactly what they are going to do. on every device released by certified partners.

unless they change their mind on this, android will soon be a walled garden like the iphone is.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 2 days ago:
yeah, because it’s bankrolled by one billionaire now, so it doesn’t matter how badly he runs it, as long as he decides to keep it up. it could never make a single dime ever again, and he could run it for as long as he wanted because he makes vastly more than twitter costs.
back when it was public, if it had lost this many advertisers when it wasn’t profitable to start with, it might have been a very different situation for them. they had to convince investors to keep giving them money back then.

There’s no such thing as “impossible” when it comes to piracy.

With the recent push for age verification in the UK, they saw an opening that will let them wall up the garden again.
- Comment on Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect 4 days ago:
That’s, uh, a bold play.
- Comment on Does Cloudflare provide anonymity? 6 days ago:
Does anyone know if they collaborate with law enforcement
yes, they do. they aren’t there to provide bulletpoof hosting, they are there to make your site resistant to DDoS attacks. as an added bonus, if you are selfhosting they also provide you with a bit of anonymity, in the sense that someone can’t just figure out your general location from your ISP.
that doesn’t mean people can’t figure out who you are from the content you host. and if you are hosting content that is illegal, even if it’s illegal in another country, then you are likely to be exposed when their courts subpoena cloudflare. cloudflare isn’t going to fight too hard to protect your identity against a government, and honestly I don’t blame them for that because they never said that was their mission or purpose. they are DDoS protection, with a few other features that might be useful to you.

It works the same way as for anything else, just pick one of the providers for anime as well.

Why would you need a flowchart? You go to the Servarr wiki and pick the ones that sound nice. It’s pretty easy to understand what each one does because, you know, they tell you in plain English.
- Comment on Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency 2 weeks ago:
they'll probably recommend something from a 14 Eyes country like Tuta.
- Comment on Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency 2 weeks ago:
your comment makes no fucking sense because the security researchers that were banned are also working with those CERTS.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
they dismissed the allegations because a group LTT paid to look into it said nothing happened. so yeah they absolutely said they were OK with sexual harassment. I'm not going to argue this with you, either, because I am not interested in whatever rationalization for sexual harassment you've prepared.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
it figures you would be OK with that, since you were OK with the sexual harassment. what's a little theft when you've already dismissed unwanted sexual contact, amiright?
the reason I'm still talking with you is because I want to demonstrate to everyone one of the other controversies around LTT, that being the toxic fanbase that's as rabid as Elon's or Trump's. and you played along fantastically, dutifully playing the part of fanboy for everyone to see. so for that, I thank you.
but now that you've done your job and played your role, I don't have any further use for you, so ta-ta and farewell!
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
you would know if you had been paying attention to our conversation.
hey what about the time LTT auctioned off property that belonged to someone else without asking them, what's your take on that?
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
hey, since you love "independent investigations", what's your take on Gamers Nexus catching LTT taking money for positive reviews of products? where the investigation for that, eh?
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
it's not independent if the guilty party pays for it. that's called a "conflict of interest".
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
ah, yes, the good old "we paid somebody to listen to our side of the story and they naturally found nothing wrong".
as I said, I didn't post that link to convince you, because you're not interested in considering it. the link is for everyone else. you can keep on believing whatever it is you want, but since you can't edit my comment you don't have any way to stop anyone else from considering the facts.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Funny you should bring up touching people in that context, because sexual harassment is the reason LTT stopped producing videos for awhile.
https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/16/23834190/linus-tech-tips-gamersnexus-madison-reeves-controversy
Of course, that article also covers the Gamers Nexus investigation into LTT taking money to give biased reviews.
I would keep going, but we both know you aren't going to read or watch those videos, so this comment is more for the other people who might be curious about it. And honestly I think your behavior makes the argumens against LTT look better, for no other reason than assholes tend to be followed by smaller, less famous assholes.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer asshole.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
There are a ton of videos about his shittiness going back years from quite a few people, you could easily find them if you wanted to.
But I don’t get why you don’t just admit you don’t care about that history, it’s a lot less effort than whatever it is you’re trying to convince people of here.

- Comment on Ooni Volt 2 - they put "AI" in a pizza oven 3 weeks ago:
by using machine learning to analyze a mountain of baking data to create a neural network that does it itself.
except that neither the article nor the vendor website even come close to claiming it uses a neural network. the article even says
It’s a little less exciting than the name suggests.
all the Pizza Intelligence does is use sensors to make sure the pizza doesn't burn. it is literally as "dumb" as the humidity sensor in a dryer.
- Comment on Ooni Volt 2 - they put "AI" in a pizza oven 3 weeks ago:
If that’s AI, then my ten year old dryer has AI because of the sensor that tells it how much humidity is in the air so it knows when my clothes are dry.
And my washer is AI because it knows how much water to add based on how much the load weighs.
And the air bag in my car is AI because it knows when I’ve gotten in a crash.
- Comment on Ooni Volt 2 - they put "AI" in a pizza oven 3 weeks ago:
That’s not AI. It just has sensors to tell when the pizza is done. Sounds like the author just wanted to earn some money, so they used AI as a clickbait buzzword to generate ad revenue.

there are no online games that don't have a cheating problem. but there are many online games that don't have anywhere near as bad of a cheating problem than EFT.
